Abstract
Description
-
- a) adding to the compartment a liquid to be frozen to form the matrix and particulates to be distributed therein;
- b) reducing the temperature around the compartment to a temperature below the freezing point of the liquid;
- c) rotating the compartment about the axis while at least some of the liquid freezes within the compartment trapping at least some of the particulates within the frozen matrix; and
- d) removing the frozen product from the compartment.
-
